Dave Rempis, Jasper Stadhouders, Frank Rosaly: Icoci
by Vincenzo Roggero
Due lunghi brani per cinquanta minuti complessivi di musica, caratterizzano l'ennesima fatica discografica di Dave Rempis e della sua etichetta Aerophonic. Come al solito ci troviamo difronte a musica “dura e pura," senza compromessi, densa, libera espressione artistica, autonoma e in pieno controllo da parte degli artisti. Al sodalizio di lunga data fra Rempis e Frank ...
Jazz and the Rules of the Knife Fight
by Peter Rubie
There's a great scene near the beginning of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, when Butch (Paul Newman) returns to the Hole in the Wall Gang and is challenged for leadership of the gang.

by John Sharpe
In avant jazz, as in other artistic endeavors, talent alone isn't enough. Success requires a large slice of luck too. Chicago-based reedman Dave Rempis knows that as well as anyone.

John Butcher
by John Eyles
In the Building a Jazz Library article on Evan Parker, it says that seasoned Parker followers would describe him as the finest improvising saxophonist of his generation. Curiously, many of those same people would use exactly that phrase about John Butcher. The simple explanation for this apparent contradiction is that we are talking about two generations; ...
Frode Gjerstad: Bop Stop
by Giuseppe Segala
A cavallo tra gli anni Settanta e Ottanta, quando nella scena jazz norvegese la presenza dell'etichetta germanica Ecm stimolava e indirizzava le scelte di tanti musicisti, il sassofonista Frode Gjerstad si volgeva a un altro panorama, cercando il contatto con le odissee procellose dell'improvvisazione storica europea, volgendosi soprattutto all'area britannica. Qui collaborò con grandi maestri che ...

Duck Baker, un chitarrista tra passato e presente
by Mario Calvitti
Duck Baker è un chitarrista abbastanza difficile da inquadrare; mentre la tecnica che usa è rigorosamente fingerstyle, la musica che compone e interpreta spazia lungo tutta la storia del jazz, dai vecchi standard al modale, dal blues al bebop, dallo swing al free. I suoi interessi si estendono inoltre a tutta la American Music, che interpreta ...
